Spring is in sight, but the snow continues to fly past the window. My family and I enjoy our soup and homemade bread nights well into April. The following soup is one I especially love. The fennel and celery root have distinct flavors, and lend a well-rounded satisfaction to cold, snowy days. Not only is it delicious, but it is incredibly easy to make.
